2 The Massachusetts Service Alliance (MSA) is pleased to release a Request for Proposals for its Youth Development Volunteer Initiative. MSA values the critical role that youth-serving agencies and volunteers play in the development of the state s most vulnerable young people. MSA seeks to award matching grants up to $10,000 to provide capacity-building opportunities to nonprofits and Volunteer Connector Organizations* to better engage volunteers in youth development programming by creating or expanding and replicating promising models. *Volunteer Connector Organizations include agencies that connect individuals with volunteer opportunities and support organizations in effectively using those volunteers to create meaningful change in local communities. Grant funding is contingent on the availability of funds from the Corporation for National and Community Service. Grant payments made will be disbursed on a reimbursement basis. Requests for reimbursement must be accompanied by all documentation required by MSA, in compliance with the rules for the administration of state and federal funds. Grants awarded under this initiative will be for the period of December 1, 2018 September 30, The Massachusetts Service Alliance The Massachusetts Service Alliance, established in 1991, is a private, nonprofit organization that serves as the state commission on community service and volunteerism. Its mission is to catalyze the innovation and growth of service and volunteerism by creating partnerships that maximize resources, expertise, capacity, and impact. Toward this end we: invest public and private funds in community-based organizations in a fair and equitable manner; convene and mobilize individuals, nonprofits, corporations, and government entities to link strategies related to service and volunteerism; build capacity of programs and agencies through training and technical assistance; and advocate for the development and promotion of public policies and private initiatives that incorporate service and volunteerism as effective strategies to address community needs. The Corporation for National and Community Service The mission of the Corporation for National and Community Service (CNCS) is to improve lives, strengthen communities, and foster civic engagement through service and volunteering. Through its multitude of programs, CNCS has helped to engage millions of citizens in meeting community and national challenges through service and volunteer action. Through Volunteer Generation Fund grants, CNCS seeks to fund effective approaches that expand volunteering, strengthen the capacity of volunteer connector organizations to recruit and retain skill-based volunteers, and develop strategies to effectively use volunteers to solve problems. Administered by MSA, the Youth Development Volunteer Initiative is funded by the Volunteer Generation Fund. 2
3 Grant Overview The Initiative The overall goal of the Youth Development Volunteer Initiative is to strengthen and sustain nonprofits and Volunteer Connector Organizations (VCOs) in new and existing youth development programming as they recruit, retain, manage and support increased numbers of volunteers. Youth Development Volunteer Initiative funds are available for the: 1. Establishment of a new youth development program within a youth-serving agency that will utilize new or existing volunteers; 2. Expansion of a current youth development program within a youth-serving agency to serve a new population or geographic area not currently served by the program, while increasing the number of youth served through the engagement of volunteers; 3. Enhancing the volunteer program through the creation of systems and recruitment efforts to support new youth-serving volunteer positions impacting at-risk youth; and/or 4. Creation or enhancement of a youth development program at a Volunteer Connector Organization that utilizes and expands the current volunteer base (VCO). At-risk Youth MSA will prioritize organizations that will create or enhance volunteer programs or volunteer positions that will impact youth categorized as at-risk. This group of young people faces higher challenges due to intrinsic and external factors and are less likely to advance into a productive and prosperous adulthood. Grantees will be expected to provide parameters for their classification of atrisk youth within the application narrative as well as document the number of at-risk youth impacted by the grant funding and volunteer efforts provided. Grantees will provide the tracking method and tools used to determine the number of youth from their program who are categorized as at-risk. Volunteer Engagement Through this initiative, youth-serving nonprofits will be expected to strengthen the capacity and infrastructure of new or existing youth development program(s) through the engagement of volunteers. Agencies will be held accountable for providing relevant, competency-based volunteer roles and opportunities that attract and retain high-caliber volunteers to support youth within the program. Organizations will be expected to develop a system or utilize technology-based tracking systems necessary to collect and report data that demonstrate results. Volunteer Management Nonprofits and Volunteer Connector Organizations must demonstrate their ability to manage and support volunteer activities, effectively create meaningful opportunities, and manage volunteers. Proposals must clearly describe a strategy to increase the number of people who serve in meaningful 3
4 roles in one or more programs within their agency. MSA is seeking substantial evidence indicating their ability to develop strategies and goals toward this end. MSA seeks to fund programs in the above areas from a variety of organizational sizes and types and that represent the geographic diversity in Massachusetts. However, in the interest of funding high quality programs, the percentage of funds to be allocated has not been set in advance.
